   I really don't know how to get this accross en masse: the (non-dual) HST 
isn't compatible with anything except itself. That is, if it doesn't say 
"USRobotics Courier HST" it won't speak to an HST. Period.

   If you want to speak to an HST at 14,400 bps, you're going to have to buy 
an HST (or an HST Dual Standard). There is no other way.
